Is there a book or website out there with a good history of the company that might include a roster? Perhaps someone at the Railroader's Museum might have some sources considering their exhibit. Regards, Joshua |

The only book I have found is V.S. Roseman's Railway Express Agency, an Overview, soft cover, 128 pages, first printing 1992. |

1. Ten turtles to Tucumcari : a personal history of the Railway Express Agency Author: Garrett, Klink.; Smith, Toby Albuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2003 This one is a very good read. Sort of a personal story of the author working for the company. James |

I'd also have to recommend reading "Ten turtles to Tucumcari". Very interesting book, but doesn't go into information such as rosters, etc. |
